Musicians will be able to record and accurately reproduce acoustic instruments, amplified instruments or even band performances and concerts. Non-musicians will have an indispensable tool for recording high quality podcasts, speeches, lessons, interviews, video soundtracks or any other source that can be recorded on the go with their mobile device.

IK Obi... two questions:

1) Is Peter Toriello around there these days? Trying to get a hold of him.

2) I own one of the iRig adaptors to bring audio into my iPad. Do you know if it is compatible with the StroboSoft tuner for iPad:

Peter is still around. Hit me up if you have any questions I can get to him. And as long as it receives input from the mic jack then yes it should.

How useful is it for Journalists to have an understanding of Multimedia Scripting and Authoring? I’ve seen a short course on Flash Multimedia Scripting and Authoring – would this be seen as a bonus for a potential Journalist to be knowledgeable in?
